HELPING YOU
Under Mississippi law, property owners must take necessary steps to maintain their premises in a way that creates a safe environment for guests, customers, or others who have a right to be on the property. If they do not live up to this standard and somebody gets injured, the victim may have grounds to assert a premises liability claim against the owner or property manager. This is a broad area of the law that covers Tupelo residents injured in a variety of situations. Contact Nahon, Saharovich & Trotz if you have been hurt at a place of business or on someone else’s land. Our Tupelo premises liability lawyers are ready to take your call and explain how we may be able to represent you.
Do You Have a Premises Liability Claim?
Injuries on someone else’s property can take many forms. You should call a lawyer in Tupelo who can assess the facts of your incident and advise whether you have a valid case. Common examples of premises liability causes of action arise out of the following situations:
- Slip and fall accidents are very common. One in four older adults reports a fall each year, including 125,635 residents of Mississippi in 2020. These accidents frequently happen in grocery stores and other businesses, often because walkways are poorly maintained or liquids are left unattended on the floor.
- Building or structural defects – property owners must construct and maintain their buildings in such a way that protects customers. These defects can cause catastrophic injuries.
- Negligent security – apartment complexes, shopping centers, and store owners must take reasonable steps to adequately secure the premises. If a business is located in a high crime area, it may be necessary to take additional steps to ensure the safety of residents, such as hiring security guards.
Holding Property Owners Accountable for Accidents That Occur on Their Premises
Claims against property owners in Tupelo are often highly contested. Many times, an owner is the only party in possession of evidence needed to prove the claim, such as incident reports and surveillance videos. Thus, you should act sooner rather than later if you are hurt. It may be necessary to file a lawsuit and obtain video footage via subpoena. If footage is timely requested but destroyed instead, sanctions may be available for spoliation of evidence. It will also be important to capture testimony of witnesses or employees who may have seen the incident occur. If action is not taken within an appropriate time, it may be more difficult for a premises liability lawyer in Tupelo to prove what happened.
When personal injuries are involved, proving liability is critical. Otherwise, the victim will not be able to recover for his or her losses stemming from the accident. Damages in a Tupelo premises liability case can include medical costs (such as emergency room treatment, physical therapy, or surgery), lost wages, permanent disability, and pain and suffering. While liability will likely be contested in your case, your damages probably will be disputed too. It may be necessary to retain expert witnesses to document the full extent of your losses and prove that they were caused by the incident.
